Napoleon Hill Think And Grow Rich Book Pdf Intro :
TRULY, "thoughts are things," and powerful things at that, when they are mixed with
definiteness of purpose, persistence, and a BURNING DESIRE for their translation into
riches, or other material objects.
A little more than thirty years ago, Edwin C. Barnes discovered how true it is that men really
do THINK AND GROW RICH. His discovery did not come about at one sitting. It came
little by little, beginning with a BURNING DESIRE to become a business associate of the
great Edison.
One of the chief characteristics of Barnes' Desire was that it was definite.
He wanted to work

translating his DESIRE into reality, and you will have a better understanding of the thirteen

making any attempt to carry out the desire.

that he finally decided to travel by "blind baggage," rather than be defeated. (To the
uninitiated, this means that he went to East Orange on a freight train). He presented himself
at Mr. Edison's laboratory, and announced he had come to go into business with the inventor.
In speaking of the first meeting between Barnes and Edison, years later, Mr. Edison said, "He
stood there before me, looking like an ordinary tramp, but there was something in the
expression of his face which conveyed the impression that he was determined to get what he
had come after. I had learned,
from years of experience with men, that when a man really
DESIRES a thing so deeply that he is willing to stake his entire future on a single turn of the
wheel in order to get it, he is sure to win. I gave him the opportunity he asked for, because I
saw he had made up his mind to stand by until he succeeded. Subsequent events proved that
no mistake was made.....................................
